The HALO Initiative wishes you a joyous Christmas and a New Year filled with possibilities. May the brightness and happiness of the holiday season fill the coming year with beautiful moments of joy for you and your loved ones!

"O sweet child of Bethlehem, grant that we may share with all our hearts in this profound mystery of Christmas. Put into the hearts of men and women this peace for which they sometimes seek so desperately and which you alone can give to them. Help them to know one another better, and to live as brothers and sisters, children of the same Father. Reveal to them also our beauty, holiness and purity. Awaken in their hearts love and gratitude for your infinite goodness. Join them all together in your love. And give us your heavenly peace. Amen."

-Pope John XXlll
